Part of me delaying to showing you guys my finished felted scarfs is that I'm looking for the perfect backdrop for photographing them.
Yes.
Basically I'm looking for an empty wall that's also pretty enough to show my scarfs in front of.
My reasoning is: Show a beautiful scarf on a beautiful background and it will look three times as beautiful. Also: these pictures need to serve me on social media and my website, thus they basically will be shaping 'my brand'.
So then what is my brand?
My designs will be minimal and geometric and organic and high-contrasty. I want everything I make to look young and modern and fresh but also handmade and artistic. So nothing fancy, but something like stone / concrete / brick or wood would be amazing for the scarfs I'm currently making.
So I've spent most of my day browsing backdrops for photographers.
Going from nice so cheap! to realizing oh shit cheap means bad quality to oh hmmm what size do I need? to hooooooly crap these images are the best I've seen all day but they are four times as expensive as I want but now I've seen them I can't have unseen them and now I need these very expensive backdrops ASAP!
Basically where I am now. 90 euros of backdrops in a digital cart and I decided to go sleep before buying them so I know I'm making the right decision.
Making the scarfs is awesome, showing them off will be even more awesome if I'm proud of how I present them.
But it's an expensive thing to do. Anyone know any art patrons around here?
Cheers.
Just to give you an idea: some backdrops from AliExpress. But they're only 60x90 cms long and I highly doubt if I'll love the quality. From here on my search continued...
